I'm used to being coached. Something I learned long ago is that a coach is trying to make you better and to be the best version of yourself.

I think I'm pretty coachable. I do what coaches ask of me.

In 16, 17 years as a pro I was used to the head coach doing it alone. He might have asked his people for advice, but he made the decisions on his own. In order to learn quickly I couldn't do that.

I'm not afraid to learn from my coaches.

Teaching players during practices was what coaching was all about to me.

But I was still hoping to be able to coach and teach.

All I can say is that I'm going to try to coach the way I've coached in the past. And if it ends up not being good enough, then so be it.

And, coaching has never been an option for me.

It's been the video game ever since I got out of coaching. Even when I was an announcer, fewer and fewer people remembered me as 'Coach,' and as the years went on, people just started knowing me from the game.

Coaches give you too much information. I've been allowed to develop that intuitive ability in my career and lifetime.
